Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471

A few days before the competition, each team member found some insider information.

"I heard that the investors have their eye on those from Dark Horse.Don't tell me that they're the favorites for first place?"

"Not necessarily.It might be their enemies trying to take the opportunity..."

Wild guesses started to spread amongst the contestants.

As Sonny listened to Franklin speak angrily, he could only sigh and console Franklin.

"We will leave this to Ben and Jean.All we must do is make sure that the race is one hundred percent safe.What happened to Ben can't happen again.Do you understand?"

Franklin nodded furiously.

"Don't worry, Sonny.From now until the race, I'll keep close to the car.I don't believe that those people can play any tricks."

Sonny nodded and walked out.His cell phone rang, and he answered.

After listening for a moment, he ran out like a madman.

Franklin looked at him from behind and was frightened.

"What happened? Why did Sonny panic?"

That night, Sonny didn't return.

Everyone thought he went to settle race matters and was dealing with the organizing committee, but no one thought that Sonny would still be uncontactable half an hour before the race started.

"His cell phone location signal is lost as well.Where on earth did Sonny go?"

Franklin panicked.

"It's all my fault.I should have stopped him."

"There's no use in saying such things.I think someone is playing a trick on us.Ben, you're the team's backbone, so we'll follow your advice.Are we still racing?"

Zackie said in a low voice.

"If we know that something is going to happen, why don't we withdraw?"

After all, ever since Ben had announced his retirement, their team had only existed in spirit and name.Their recent races hadn't been great.

Maybe the heavens were sending them a sign and telling them it was time to give up.

In an instant, everyone hung their heads.No one wanted to face such a difficult situation.

After all, they couldn't push Ben and Jean into desperate straits.

On the other end, Jean jumped down the steps.

"It's almost time.Let's go."

She called out to Ben before grabbing her helmet and walking out.

At the end of the corridor was the racecourse.

It was a swamp with sand pits, and the skies were covered densely with dark clouds.

According to the weather forecast, there would be lightning and thunder.

"Ms.Eyer..."

Franklin went over in a hurry.

"Are you racing?"Jean asked seriously, "Didn't you say that you would protect these two cars and keep close to them? Did you do it?"

Franklin nodded.

"Of course.I slept in the garage."

"Then what do I have to be worried about?"

Jean's smile deepened.

Her eyes were bright yet firm.

"Leave the rest tous"

On the other end, Ben looked down to fasten his belt.

"Brothers, Dark Horse must win this battle."

If they lost, he would take responsibility.

"Once we get into the cars, keep an eye on Jean.Do you understand?"

Ben went close to Zackie.

"Don't let her know that I switched cars with her."

Zackie nodded.
